Ohio State Sovereignty, Constitutional Power and Legally Binds Oaths Amendment (2014)

Not on Ballot
This measure was not put on an election ballot

The Ohio State Sovereignty, Constitutional Power and Legally Binds Oaths Amendment did not appear on the November 4, 2014 ballot in Ohio as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure, which was also known as the Ohioans for Ohio Amendment, would have declared Ohio state sovereignty, as well as state dominion over its government, commerce, education, environment and energy resources. Additionally, it would have proscribed the enforcement power of the Ohio Constitution to the governor, attorney general and the citizens of the state. It also would have declared oaths under Section 7 of Article XV of the Ohio Constitution legally binding.
